I must warn you, I'm not to good at blogging but I shall try my best.
Today has begun somewhat slowly, I woke up half an hour late for milking Star (my purebred Nubian milk goat) due to my slow recovery from being sick for the last two days...*cough* She forgave me though, so I'm fine. After milking Star I fed the sheep and Star their hay and then took a few flakes of hay and a bucket with about 60 oz of grain up to the upper pasture for the kids (meaning baby goats, I have five baby goats)
Then I went back down, after petting and kissing the babies, to the sheep pasture where Star stays and carried the milk bucket inside to strain it. I strained, weight and logged the milk then poured it into the gallon milk jar.
Then I went and grabbed a cup of coffee and read e-mails and replied to some people on the homesteading forum.
I am slowly getting better, I feel about...98% healthy now...
I added up how many animals my family has and, due to getting 3 lop ear bunnies today sometime, we have 28 animals...definitely a farm :D
Here is a pic of Star right before I milked her last night. She is standing on our makeshift milkstand.
Talk to ya'll later!
